Welcome to this week's news update from Clarity Locums. Here's a roundup of the latest developments in the industry, featuring crucial updates for pharmacists, nurses, and GPs.
Locum pharmacists are often needed for staff shortages or high demand in healthcare. Agencies like Clarity Locums help manage this efficiently.
In recent years, there has been a growing trend in the recreational misuse of a variety of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. This phenomenon, often referred to as 'pharming,' involves the use of these substances either on their own or in combination with other licit or illicit drugs, including new psychoactive substances (NPS).
The Isle of Man has taken a progressive step by allowing pharmacies to apply for licenses to dispense medicinal cannabis. This development follows a successful year-long pilot scheme, which highlighted the local demand for cannabis-based products for medicinal use (CBPMs).
We are excited to partner with Lo’s Pharmacy Group, a family-run chain of 39 pharmacies in Yorkshire and Lancashire. This collaboration offers great opportunities for our locum pharmacists and dispensers. Stay tuned for job openings and more details!
The general election announcement has raised concerns about delays in 2024/25 pharmacy contract talks, which Community Pharmacy England (CPE) fears could further strain operations.
At the heart of Clarity Locums’ mission is ensuring we place top-tier locum pharmacists with pharmacies across the UK and Ireland. We aim to deliver an outstanding service, and a significant part of achieving this lies with you, our dedicated locums.
